About This Item
N.p., [July-September 1949].
This handmade album made by military officers in the begging of the Cold War. Most likely, those officers served at ALSIB - the Soviet Union portion of the Alaska-Siberian air road receiving Lend-Lease aircraft from the Northwest Staging Route. On the other side, probably, military presence in Chukotka had a connection with the formation of NATO (April 4, 1949) and the first Soviet nuclear weapons test (August 29, 1949).
The album includes wild nature and landscape photos (Anadyr and Tanyurer river, Oymyakon selo), but especially interesting are photos of Chukchi people and their daily life. Last photo depicted Soviet soldier siting on the whale bone.
